Help us, God, to unite our great country
In the wake of a contentious election season.
Teach us to listen to one another,
To heal and to hope.
The days that lie before us are ours to shape.
Let them be days of repair,
Days when we join together
To build a new future.
For some of us the results of this election were a deep blow,
For some of us those same results were a cause for celebration.
Our charge today must be to rise above all conflict,
To rise above our differences,
And welcome in a new time of understanding.
Bless us God, with ears to hear,
Hearts to love,
And hands to reach across party lines,
So that we can ensure liberty for all,
Dignity for all.
Land of opportunity and dreams
May we protect your majestic landscape,
And may we treasure the freedom that is our birthright.
Teach us, God, to pledge our allegiance
To every soul in need
And every child praying for a better tomorrow.
Bless America, God,
With peace, with prosperity, and with justice for all. Amen.

“Inspiration…For TODAY…FROM… PSALM 127-131”
“In our TIME and DAYS – – that we are given – – we need to be inspired and blessed – – and so I have some good verses from the BIBLE – – a good WORD from… our CREATOR.”
*****************************************************************
Psalm 127 Unless Yahweh builds the house,
they labor in vain who build it.
Unless Yahweh watches over the city,
the watchman guards it in vain. 2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
to stay up late,
eating the bread of toil;
for he gives sleep to his loved ones. 3 Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh.
The fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
so are the children of youth. 5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 128 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
who walks in his ways. 2 For you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be happy, and it will be well with you. 3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine,
in the innermost parts of your house;
your children like olive plants,
around your table. 4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh. 5 May Yahweh bless you out of Zion,
and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 6 Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel.
Psalm 129 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say, 2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long. 4 Yahweh is righteous.
He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward,
all those who hate Zion. 6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up; 7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,
nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. 8 Neither do those who go by say,
“The blessing of Yahweh be on you.
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
Psalm 130 Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh. 2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions. 3 If you, Yah, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with you,
therefore you are feared.
5 I wait for Yahweh.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word. 6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning;
more than watchmen for the morning. 7 Israel, hope in Yahweh,
for with Yahweh there is loving kindness.
With him is abundant redemption. 8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
Psalm 131 Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty;
nor do I concern myself with great matters,
or things too wonderful for me. 2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with his mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3 Israel, hope in Yahweh,
from this time forth and forevermore.
“A good “WORD” from the BIBLE – – is needed in our TIMES…TODAY.”
